  Fair bit of petrol on the nose; rich (13.5%), but cut with acidity and a bit of effervescence. Very good, but a bit heavy— got tiresome towards the end of the bottle.

  Apple pie: fruit, flowers, and spice. Good body and decent acidity. An very enjoyable wine.

  Very nice bottle. White flowers, grilled pineapple and a hint of banana on the nose, quite herby and oily on the palate. Seemed less impressive immediately on opening, but significantly improved after warming up in the glass. Would buy this again.

  Terrific bottle of Riesling. Lots of citrus notes - oranges and grapefruit - great acidity, fresh and racy, pure and complex with just a tiny hint of botrytis. Great depth and length and never heavy or cloying like some of the Wachau Rieslings can be. This will age nicely. Birgit Eichinger seems to be making better wines with every new vintage lately. This is top level Austrian Riesling for my palate. - 93 points
